A post dedicated to a woman who truly was a woman. She defined grace, elegance, beauty and power, not only through her acting roles but also as a person, well known for her loving personality. A true idol, someone who if any woman chose someone to inspire them, Audrey should be it, she is a representative of everything a real lady should be. Her simplistic style & grace was also an influence to Edie Sedgwick. She is mostly known for portraying the character of Holly Golightly in the film adaption of Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's, but also for her roles in Funny Face, Paris When it Sizzles and Roman Holiday. I recently watched 'A Nun's Story', featuring Audrey as a girl aspiring to be a nun and the pressures they have to go through living in a convent. The film lacked a storyline and was somewhat dull (perhaps because I have no interest in nuns & heavy Christianity), however, Audrey made the film interesting, because as usual you'd expect her angelic face and gentility to portray a character of innocence, but even in a story about the so called most innocent people on Earth, Audrey played a rebellious character who struggles to fit in, and in the end leaves the convent because she accidentally falls in love with one of her male tutors. One of the most delightful things about her as an actress, is her surprising roles and characters she plays. For someone who has such an innocent image and oozes perfection in her personality, it's ironic yet intriguing to see her play such legendary and rebellious characters. Which goes to show you really should never judge a book by its cover, even when it's as pretty as Audrey Hepburn.
